This quest is really quite epic.

You control the direction of the large spinning fireball. Just follow the path down the hill that's been run into the ground all the way down to the docks, and along the way take out all the gross little gnomes you see. It might take a few runs up and down the path and around the docks to take out 1000 of them, but if you're anything like me you'll take out a few hundred more after that just for fun.

Stay on the path and along the docks (straying only a little to take out gnomes) and you shouldn't have a problem. If you stray too far the ball will spit you out and you have to go back and get a new ball. You do not need to abandon your quest.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Gryphon##DELIM##

Yes :( I've lost the "Fusion core" at 770/1000 ^^

Comment by bartmon

Yes, make sure you follow the path Northeast towards the docks at the cursed landing. If you go into the area with the "Cursed Engineers" and the walking bombs, the core will auto-eject you, you go into a different phase, and get owned by 10 crazed engineers.

Na...na na na na na na na...Katamari Damacy!

Comment by ZulShen

This should really be a daily. Its too much fun to be a one time quest

Comment by Load

That's EXACTLY what went through my mind while doing this, which makes this comment all the more amusing. :DThe Katamari homage is obvious. :)

Comment by EightBitBus

If anyone was curious, you move at 357% speed while in the Core. Using the speed ability will bring you up to 1071% speed.

Comment by MMOSimca

Agreed, extremely obvious Katamari Damacy reference.

Comment by skepmen

I have LOW Graphics settings, 50-60 fps and whenewer i start this quest, my fps = 0 to 2 !

Comment by Rednilec

If you fail to complete the quest, you dont have to abandon. Just fly back to quest giver and ask for a new core.

Best... Quest... Ever...

Best Quest Ever!

I Killed Far More Gnomes Then Necessary Just For The Fun Of It!

Definitely Should Be Made Into A Daily Quest.

Comment by Byansk

Most epic quest EVER!

Comment by Giadia

I couldn't do the Quest. Once i clicked on the Orange Ball my frame Rate dropped to 0. tried restarting it and dropping it, restarting my computer, updating my drivers, and playing at low settings. Nothing fixed it.

Did Anyone Else Have This Problem?

any suggestions on how to fix it or what is causing it?

Comment by carnifex2005

A.I.D.A = My analysis reveals you might feel... "guilt" as a result of such high fatality numbers.Me = Uhhhh... no. Can I do it again?

Comment by ZeroKaiser

This should be a daily, or even a repeat. I recall a BC repeat quest in Hellfire that had you dropping bombs over demons in a large area, but didn't reward anything. If this was anything like that, regardless of rewards, I'd die happy.

Comment by savlion

My Tauren druid wept with joy, like a thousand blinking christmas lights I lit that beach up. Like Bolvar Fordragon sacrificed himself to become the new Lich King, my druid has sacrificed his ability to quest to rid the world once and for all of the gnome threat, one burning pile of gnomes at a time.

Comment by cyrick

Best. Quest. Ever. God I hate gnomes. Seriously whoever came up with this quest should be immediately promoted to CEO of Blizzard.

Comment by Papaoomowmow

From my orcish point of view, the best thing about this quest is it leaves the gnomes warm and crispy. Delicious! Blew my diet, but maybe I'll pick back up on it tomorrow.

Comment by sl0shk0sh

If you return to the fusion ball and speak to it you have the option to select "we need to give this another try." That will allow you to jump back into the ball and continue from your previous kill number. Useful for anyone who falls off at a high number.

Comment by Kilran

Comment by jeremyjw

if you feel like taking it slow, you can press your 'walk' key and leisurely stroll over the gnomes

Comment by Salazans

This quest is the ultimate gnome-hater wet dream.Trampling a legion of gnomes with an invincible ball of fire and watching them fly around in flames and screaming in pain... oh I could do this everyday.

Comment by Demokro

You get blues, xp and gold for doing this quest... Hell I would have PAID 100g to just do this quest like come on..I get to do my favorite thing! Smashing little gnomes in a lightball!

Comment by vasili

As a hunter or enh shammy not even worth finishing no good rewrds for us perfect for killing gnomes when your bored or in a rage :D happy gnome killing!

Comment by prohan

Comment by Babycakes2010

Im not sure if its just me but as soon as the ball drops down on the ground it says im out of ULDUM and throws me out into a group of angry gnomes :| its taken me over 45mins to just get 700.

Comment by Neruna

A dream has come true with this quest. To bad that it isn't a daily. :(

Comment by Mymomisyours

Thank you!

Comment by asloversgo

I laughed constantly during the 5 minutes this quest took. Doing it with sound enabled made it even better.

Comment by Dudemandude

There's quests that have you stopping the extinction of entire species. There's quests where you cause the extinction of entire species. There's quests where you save a town from utter devastation, quests where you topple massive armies, quests where you kill the most powerful beings in the universe.

Then there's quests like this, where you roll around as a giant fireball killing 1000 gnomes.

Blizzard, I love you.

Comment by Rexall

I Love how the bodies stick to the Ball! total LMAO moment!I wish I could do this to all the mob/node gankers! other players Beware.

Comment by blackmorass

This has to be the single greatest quest in the history of questing.

Make sure to have the audio turned way up.

Comment by HaveyJoe

The Hamster Dance song started in my head when I did this last night and still haunts my thoughts today.

I didn't link the song deliberately to spare the ears of those who don't know what I'm talking about.

Comment by Slavaa

When I hoped Blizzard would reimplement rolling ignites, this is not what I had in mind.

Not that I'm complaining.

Comment by TheRogueWolf

I want to do this quest forever.

Comment by Renmi

Awesome comment! 'Twas really helpful. However, you are wrong about which mob to kill. In order to get the first quest, you need an item that starts it, this item drops from a mob called Expedition Member here on wowhead, however in game their name is slightly different; Cursed Expedition Member. One kill of these will drop the item you need to start the quest.

Note that you might have to have completed some prequests before hand, I'm not sure. I was able to get the drop on my first try however, having only completed quests in Uldum to the point where Jones sent me to Sullah.

Comment by XxShadow69xX

... I spent an hour doing this, AFTER I finished the 1000 needed to complete.

They really, REALLY need to make this repeatable. Although I guess they'd eventually run out of M.A.C. Divers.

Comment by Mtrais

BEST. QUEST. EVER.

Only problem is that it isn't a daily. I don't mind if there won't be an XP increase, rep, cash, or anything similar. I just want to kill hordes of irradiated gnomes with a giant freaking ball of fire! :(

Comment by Fangerrae

Definitely needs to be a daily.

Comment by Risukage

My analysis reveals you might feel... "guilt" as a result of such high fatality numbers.

Guilt? Try "glee" or "giddiness." "Satisfaction" is also appropriate as well. :)

However, there is a significant lack of Royal Rainbow-ness, but due to significant Gnome-slaughter, it is forgiven. :P

Comment by Dureal

Joy of punting gnomes :) I can do it all day long!

Comment by AWizardDidIt

Why would anyone feel guilt for killing Gnomes?

Comment by durabura

this is my favorite questits rock!

Comment by giggins

Who know that running over a 1000 gnomes with a ball of fire would be so... gratifying.

Comment by weelock

FINALLY something coming out of those stupid gnomes mouth besides that annoying laugh! Loved that death scream. I vote for daily as well!

Comment by rolie123

One thing came to my mind doing this. Anyone remember the time when the Burning Crusade was released? All the world's tauren (s?) were whining about being humiliated by a gnome's sheep spell. A SHEEP SPELL. And now you need to kill a THOUSAND gnomes. I'm not a gnome fan or anything, don't have a gnome character either, it's just a bit sarcastic if you ask me.

Comment by JRSpaniel

Anyone who says they didn't start laughing like a maniac during this quest is a filthy liar.

Comment by Wirxaw

Now really, this quest has a bad description. What kind of a person would ever feel a "guilt" for slaughtering gnomes? We all hate gnomes, that's it. Not only should Blizz make it repeatable, but they should fix the description similar to Eel and Hyena slaughter. So, honestly, Do the WORLD a FAVOR! KILL ANOTHER 1000 of them!

Comment by Mirouku

Funniest quest.Ever

Comment by Supertodd

Absolutely GREAT quest, and I had a cool bug happen (or at least I think it was a bug)

When I got almost to the required level of gnomeslaughter, I rolled back up the path to get the respawns there. About halfway up the hill, the ball stopped moving but I kept moving. I couldn't see myself, just the gnomes that were stuck to my new "invisiball".

I had to drive back down and kill a few hundred more, just because it was so fun to be driving a sphere of flaming gnome corpses. On the way back up, the ball was still there, right where it and I had parted ways.

this is how I roll!,srsly though if WoW had more high quality quests like this rather that the usual kill 10 of this, fetch that, it would FAR more awesome and fun.

tl;dr: MOAR

Comment by Siton

This quest was long, boring and repetitive. Sorry Blizzard.

Comment by moegie

What you've always wanted to do on a sunday afternoon!

Comment by Apolocyntosis

The gnome opening movie talks about how there are very few gnomes left, and this quest has adventurers killing gnomes by the thousand.

YOU FOOLS! YOU KEEP UP THIS RECKLESS BEHAVIOR, AND SOON THERE WON'T BE ANY MORE GNOMES TO KATAMARI!

Comment by woodsielord

The title of this incredibly fun quest is a reference to the popular RPG race "gnomes".

Comment by Warriornewb

L.m.a.o.

I only echo the words.... BEST QUEST EVER!

I will do this every day if they make this a daily. Not caring about the reward. This was too dang fun. I loved the sound effects too ^_^

Comment by gonesurfyn

At first I saw 1000 kills and I was like X(( but then I started rolling around and I was =D. So much win!

Comment by welat

More quests involving burning or hammering gnomes would make the game even MORE fun :D

Comment by pritrix

You can complete the Unearthing Uldum Achievement WITHOUT turning in this quest.

Comment by Zuhukanah

I'm saying I would gladly do this for free, no xp no gold no rep.

Thanks for the tip, I'm definitely not turning this in until Blizz makes it's a daily!

Comment by Iilrane

For those of you wanting this to be a daily, mind telling me who you're going to get faction with? I think that's a general rule with dailies...

Next time the Blackrock Exiles pay Argent Dawn a visit, I'll be sure to mention that if they keep their shenanigans up, I'll find a way to convince Blizzard to create an Ironforge version of this quest. With incinerating 1000 members of the Exiles of Blackrock guild as the goal.

Not NPCs, mind you. THE ACTUAL PLAYER-CHARACTER INTRUDERS.

But anyway, it didn't feel like a slaughter to me so much as an Asterix battle. Guess who played the respective parts of Obelix and the Romans...

Not to mention that if this somehow DOES become a daily (not that I can figure out how THAT many gnomes could be corrupted by the apparent Psycho Prototype of Algalon), there should be SOME sort of achievement. Cut down the 1000 corrupted gnomes in less than X:XX, basically.

Comment by Glocken

Interesting bug - exit the "vehicle" as it jumps the railing. If it works as it did for me, you'll fall down, and the orb will remain. It will then follow you at a distance.

You can then get into another orb, kill gnomes, and the original orb will pick up bodies. Mine eventually glitched a second time, where the orb froze but the fire path from it continued following me - the "phantom" orb still picked up bodies, so it was just a bunch of spinning gnomes. On fire. Following me.

Comment by Voij

Just wanted to add, I only completed the very first quests to get to Ramkahen for the first time and the Communicator dropped for me.Am right now on the quest where I have to speak to the three Tolvir across Uldum to see whether the situation is alright.

"My analysis reveals you might feel... "guilt" as a result of such high fatality numbers."

Nope. Not one iota. I could do this all day with a smile on my face.

Comment by Totergott

Although this is my most favorite quest out there, I have noticed a small bug. If you roll over to (80,56), at least for me and a friend, the core will actually stop in mid air and you continue to roll without the core. This means in order to see where your ball is, you'll have to run over more gnomes and watch them spin around helplessly :D

Comment by chentauren

anything better than obliterate gnomes with a gigant fireball :D

Comment by Vetox

Because of this quest, some Gnomes decided to become priests, because too many gnomes were killed and everybody was happy about it, and other Races didn't offer to help the burning-yelling-poor wittle, wittle gnomes :)Cmon it's funny :) Somebody had to take care of all those thousands and thousands of burned gnomes..Can you immagine the smell ?:))

EDIT: NEXT EXPANSION WE WANT A QUEST SIMILAR, BUT WITH COWS !AND MAKE IT A DAILY OR WE WONT PAY THE GAME NO MORE :)

Btw, after you complete, there is an option that says:

"WE NEED TO GIVE THIS ANOTHER TRY"

Comment by Sharadith

I have a few of things to say, so I'll start from the top;

First and foremost, if having this much fun is criminal, I should be locked away for all time. It's just too addicting to NOT kill as many gnomes as possible. Unless of course, you are a gnome. But hey, no one is perfect, right?

Second, there aren't a lot of gnomes left, and if they all died, we would lose out on favoured pass times like this one. I only have one solution: Clones.

Comment by JediWolfSister

Rolling into the water will indeed put out your blazing ball of infinitely fun death. That's okay. You can always abandon the quest and start from scratch. =D

Comment by Umslopagaas

I...I...i leveled to 85 off of this quest...i...i am so proud T.T my final act, that propelled me into the ranks of the great heros of azeroth at the moment, was the mindless slaughter of 1000 gnomes...i...i would just like to say, that there is no better way to Ding85, than this...the feeling is just...just...beautiful... I shall keep my Gloves of Gnomebliteration untill my dieing day

Comment by godistigger

What does it say about me that I love this quest....and I'm a gnome?

Please make it a daily!

Anyone else have this happen to them? I was rolling around down by the docks and my flaming ball got stuck to one of the pillars by the water. The ball got stuck but I didn't. I apparently became an invisible flaming ball and kept right on burning gnomes.

This quest is really awesome! Totally agree about turning it into daily. Best way to relax? Go and ignite some lepper gnomes with the gigantic fireball! You can do this all day without getting bored, belive me (espeically if you're a hordie)!

Comment by oramac

if you play with the sound off, like me, TURN IT ON FOR THIS QUEST! it makes all the difference!

(also, another +1 for making this a daily!)

Comment by Midnightvalkyrie

If anyone were wondering, you simply need to jump off the ball of fire, once you have killed 1000 gnomes. Even though you don't get the usual quest completed message, you still get credit and can just go hand it in.

Comment by Valynne

Yup, I really enjoyed this on my main and now I'm doing it on my second. I keep abandoning it and doing it again and again, no plans to turn in until Blizzard makes this a daily (and why not? we need another daily in Uldum anyway.) This quest is my version of a stress toy and cracks me up. The only thing that would make it more epic would be to tie it in with the Harrison Jones line in a nod to the Temple of Doom scene.

Also, you can glitch this so that the ball turns invisible. Somehow I left the floating ball of flame behind and got an "invisi-ball" and so all I saw was the screaming trash it picked up rolling over and over on an invisible ball of doom. Awesome.

Comment by Kampw

halfway through rolling over gnomes, the image of my fire ball got stuck. i was still in the fusion core, but it just was not visible. lol. so by the end of it, i had a acquired a huge ball of flaming gnomes instead of a fire ball.

i love this quest. definitely going to hold on to it, instead of turning it in.

Comment by Trick83

The only reason this quest was put in the game:

Get us to level alts.

Having too much fun with it and space out "TURN IN" /facepalm. After my mage hit 85, took my pally up, and earlier this week my rogue dinged. All because after a week, I want to do it again. Hunter isn't turning it in, nearest other alt is 65....

Comment by questionaire

i didnt put me into the ball at first so i was freaking out cuz i thought i had to manually kill 1000 gnomes... so i asked my guildies what to do but everyone online was a newbie so they had no idea so i asked in trade and no one answered so i resorted to thottbot and thank you all for your wonderful comments on gnomes...by the way...THEY ARE NOT PRONOUNCED GNOMES! SAY IT WITH ME! GA-NO-MEES!GENOCIDE FTW!

Comment by ccmccoy

A great quest! I agree it should be a daily. The sound effects are rather satisfying, also.

If you have any difficulty controlling the ball with the keyboard, try using the mouse holding down both buttons. Collecting all the gnomes while remaining in the permissible area is simple with that technique. Just point and scoop!

Comment by Melilithia

Comment by Orangutan

Well, I found a rather boring way to do this quest, if you run into problems. There are several spots along the downward slope where you can just park your giant flaming ball of flaming gnome death. The respawn rate is very fast, so you'll rack up the kills. It's a super-boring way to do this super-awesome flaming death quest, but it works.

Comment by clothsucks

I'm doing this quest right now and parked the ball by some crates to get something to drink and when I came back I was looking at the ball just rotating there. There are some images in it. One of some guy or girl with curly longish hair and scary looking face on the neck. There is more stuff around the whole ball. It's weird. I'll try to submit a picture of it.

Comment by Neneheria

I'm having some kind of problem when I do it, it'll count the first 50 or so gnomes then it just stops, and after every couple of minutes it just counts a couple more, I also can't leave the sphere (Logging out/ in helps that though) And I've tried abandoning the quest and trying again but the same thing happens...

Comment by kalfeer

Ride a giant ball of barely controlled destruction. How is this not a repeatable quest? The epic factor is off the scale.

Comment by Chetti

I didn't have a framerate problem, at least I don't think I did. At some point, I think around 500 or so gnomes, my ball stopped working. I was rolling over large mobs of gnomes and they weren't counting. I tried to use the leave vehicle button, but it wouldn't let me. I think someone else was doing the same quest at the same time because as I was rolling around over things, they started counting. It took a LONG time to get it done, I'm not sure if my ball was registering every few gnomes I was hitting or if there actually was someone else doing the quest and the gnomes counted for me too. Which is good, because when I finally hit the 1000 to complete, I kept rolling. The leave vehicle button still didn't work for me. I logged out and logged back in, and that kicked me out of the ball so I could turn in the quest.

This issue aside, this was quite an awesome quest. I would love to see it as a daily or a repeatable quest.

Comment by Ganman3

I got 99 problems, but a gnome ain't one.

Comment by Calentor

There appears to be a phasing/respawning bug with this quest.

After I'd happily killed the first couple of hundred gnomes, the body count stopped, I could roll over gnomes without mutilating them (disappointing) or hearing their screams of agony (extremely disappointing).

I also couldn't leave the vehicle to start again.

Logging out and back in gave the same problem, but I discovered that I could kill gnomes that were invisible, e.g. going back up to the tomb at the top of the hill and rolling all around the outside perimeter.

Once I'd killed the required number, I could still roll around but couldn't leave the vehicle, so had to log out and back in again.

Interestingly, there are parts of the dock where you can't roll off the edge, but other places where you can enter the water and the ball floats.

It's a shame it isn't repeatable, as it would be interesting to see how far across Uldum you could ride before it ejected you.

Comment by Draagy

Do this quest while listening to "Breakfast Machine" by Danny Elfman (a.k.a. the Pee Wee Herman song). I swear, it will change your life.

Comment by Lysergicius

Not only do I want this as a daily, but I also want an equivalent for Bloodsail Buccaneers, set in Booty Bay with goblin flambé...

Comment by xployt

I would enjoy this quest more if there were more Gnomes, or if it wasn't 1000 Gnomes. Either/or because i keep getting ejected from the fireball for being "too far" when i'm going to the, clearly, only spot available and full of Gnomes to kill. Not sure if that was intended....

Comment by shiftzz

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EPIC QUEST!

Comment by MiltiadesBooga

This quest + Yakkety Sax = transcendent!

Comment by crossbow30

Indeed this was a fun quest and I agree it should be made a daily. I was able to complete it in two tries. The first time I only got 57 of the little fellows cuz I tried to stay on the path as much as possible. I got the other 943 on the second try by just directing the ball where ever I wanted it to go (even up hill). I just kept going back and forth til I got all my kills and a couple of hundred +. I even went up multiple stairs leading to a temple. However, when I tried to take the ball into the building I got kicked off...all in all it was a blast!

Comment by Roek

Oh, I completed this quest half an hour ago? I never noticed...

Comment by 5parrowhawk

When I flew over the area previously, I saw the name "Trail of Devastation" and thought it referred to the devastation caused BY the crazed gnomes.

Comment by elektriclotus

Being a gnome, I am outraged by this quest and think it should be removed immediately! Not really. This quest is amazing! I agree this should be turned into a daily. So much fun rollin' up on all those gnome's! Ha!

Comment by ScorpiOve

I feel I have a bit to much fun doing this quest. A sane person should not take this kind of pleasure in senseless death and destruction. But, by golly I love it.

Comment by bumblebee2127

Someone PLEASE petition Blizzard to make this quest a daily, or repeatable. I don't care if it didn't even give you rewards. I would still do it EVERY SINGLE DAY! XDD HAHA! YESSSS BURN GNOMES BURN! I so wish I could teleport to Stormwind in this thing. :D

Comment by smithii

I would kill 500 gnomesAnd I would kill 500 moreJust to be the man who killed a 1000 gnomes!

Comment by Velariana

This should definitely be a daily quest!

Although, playing a hunter, I was disappointed that 3 of the 4 quest rewards are caster items.

Comment by Grizela

To be honest, I totally hated it. It was simplistic and just mass destruction. And it went on forever! No skill and not my funny. Set my teeth on edge.

Comment by Zamovo

Deathwing came in and burned the place while I was doing this quest. So we basically double teamed poor, poor gnomes.

Comment by Rebelsoul

As a Goblin, this quest makes me happy, I don't even want to turn it in.

Comment by shockwaver

This quest is better then squeezing fresh air bubble wrap!

Comment by funestis

Did anybody noticed how those gnomes stick to the fiery ball, I think it is a reference to odd and painful habit of all hot objects to stick on somebody's skin with distinctive steam sound increasing the pain from burn tenfold. :D

Comment by AngelsThesis

there are more gnomes than undead in just this section alone. so what made the undead seem so much more threatening?

Comment by tenenbaum

Comment by Racmaster00

This quest seems to be a little glitched for me. I have a very nice computer and I have all of the game settings set to max but for some reason when I do this quest the gnomes disappear. I can see them in the distance but once I get close enough to roll over them they disappear. When I got to the steps there were no gnomes but my kill counter was still going up, I couldn't see them but I was apparently killing them. This sort of thing also happened to me in a quest near K3, anyone else have this problem?

Comment by Ozma26

Really fun quest! Although if you're prone to headaches, I recommend taking a break to look away from the computer monitor every now and then.

Comment by Xirobe

THE most horrid quest in the game. Far too painful for me to finish. I just couldn't bear it.

The other comments saying how much joy people got from this quest is truly sickening. They should consider getting a conscience sometime.

I'm sure this will be downrated, but I really felt such horror had to have at least one voice of reason against it.

This is such an awesome quest. Monster Trucks anyone? I mean c'mon! Everybody has some of those days where you just when a jump in one and run down everybody you never liked.

If you look closely, you can see the reflection of the Chamber of the Aspects (in Dragonblight). It's the glowing orb in the ceiling. Blizz just use the same model.

Burn ALL the gnomes!

Comment by lunayah

We get to roll over at least a thousand gnomes in a big flaming sphere in the desert, setting gnomes on fire like that should be a daily quest indeed. I agree with everyone else who says that this quest should be a daily quest!BTW, stupid question but who else kept on killing gnomes after they had already kill a thousand and could turn the quest in?

Na na na na na na na na na katamari damashi~ Heehee, fun quest! Katamari reference, which I only thought maybe until I seen one of the rewards.

Gnomebliteration - BEST QUEST EVER *sulk* at the fact that it's not a daily :( Too good to only be completed once

Comment by skullreaper

I hope this make it a daily cus who doesn't like to set gnomes on fire

Comment by Zuljid

"Daylight's burning!"

Sure it is, little gnome. Sure it is...

Comment by Kauge

Hands down the funniest quest of all!

Comment by KingDMS

Until this mission is made repeatable I am never turning it in. I simply abandon the mission every time I finish for the day.

Comment by kameara

this is still one of the best quests in this game, redid it on another char... still had me laughing and giggling the whole time. The pandaria quests are pretty awesome themselves but this one is just classic.

Comment by HarisPilton

Such a fun quest, but I hate how it says all the time how I must return to eastern Uldum and even though I'm in the area where the gnomes are it still ejects me and bazillion gnomes attack me :(

Comment by Brnai50

Well, I for one didnt like this quest, seemed pretty stupid, but I did learn to zoom out as far as possible on my camera, helped to see the lil suckers, & know where I was going.

This quest appears to be bugged as of 11/04/2013. While controlling the core, it would randomly disappear along with all the gnomes in the area. I had to exit the vehicle and go back to the top of the ship to continue killing the gnomes. I had to do this 5 times before being able to complete the quest.

Comment by Xarieth

Has anyone else noticed the extremely creepy smiling face near the bottom of the orb? It just stares at you while you murder thousands. I think the orb is satisfied by the death...

Comment by Tochiazuma

Might be bugged at present, having some troubles with the ball disappearing. There's still a flame trail, but you aren't killing gnomes any more at that point. You can dismount and pick up the ball again, but in my case that meant 'restarting' six times.

Which of course I did because slaughtering gnomes with a rolling ball of fire doom is awesome.

Comment by hewlac

Bugged and glitchy to say the least. If your ball disappears, drop the quest, because you aren't killing anything any more. If you go out of the right area, your ball disappears and you have to go restart it. If you hit a mechagnome your ball disappears and you have to restart. Took me over a dozen runs to finally kill all the gnomes.

Vehicles are bad. Always have been, always will be. Blizzard needs to remove them and let us play as our own characters, the ones we have been raising for (now) 87 levels.

Comment by rehlyihmah

So, after doing it once on my shaman in may 2012, it doesn't work properly for my hunter in may 2013 :(. I can kill about 50 gnomes before I am either kicked out of the orb entirely, in a phase without the thousands of gnomes - with a bit of luck in a deadly group of mobs - or the orb vanishes, meaning I keep rolling around, can still use the speed boost, but gnomes I roll over don't increase my kill count.

Way to ruin the fun.

With or without pet, it doesn't work. I stay in the right zone, too. ugh.

Comment by Yakeshi

This quest is bugged for me. The fusion core keeps disappearing, leaving me controlling a trail of flames. Which would be fine, and epic, except it despawns all the gnomes required for the quest. And then when I leave the vehicle, it drops me where the vehicles is, rather than back at the original fusion core.

Comment by Junyed

The fusion core has decided to make a habit of randomly disappearing, but leaving the vehicle bar and the ability it gives. Allowing me to roll around, but not obliterate any gnomes. I can't help but wonder if this is one of the "improvements" from the introduction of cross-realm zones, as any gnomes nearby disappear for a moment as well.

Comment by BigZZZ

It had to be done.

Comment by Kharzack

As of 5.3.0, I'm not sure whether it's just me but after about every 150 Gnomes you run over the ball disappears and its just a trail of fire, to fix this just exit the vehicle then go over to the Fusion Core again, however you will have to do this every time it happens. I hope Blizzard fix this since its a very fun quest to be ruined by some bug. :(

Comment by beezischillin

Sometime in July, 2013 the quest was broken by some kind of a different fix (probably related to CRZ and it may have been broken earlier, but this is when my guildmate noticed, and afterwards me - personally), after a while, the ball you're supposed to control vanishes and you are unable to kill any more gnomes - it usually happened around ~150 mobs for me. Just get out of the ball and get back in. It's a bit annoying but it isn't completely broken.

Comment by ewelch

Not sure if this has been mentioned but when I lost the ball for like the 8th time, I hit my space bar several times out of frustration and got it back and was able to continue to the end. I was at about 625/1000 when this happened.

Comment by lespaul678

8/16/13 Still bugged *sigh*

Comment by Loadingpotato

As of 5.4 I didn't have any issues, glitches, etc.

Comment by FSM4TheWin

Yay how RETARDED. It kicked me out of the quest and now I can't get back into it. Tried abandoning the quest and restarting it but still nothing.

Worthless CRAP.

Comment by Greywood

You are really sick, Blizzard - I wont ever be able to forget the screams of thousands of these little, crazy bastards. I just love it :3

Comment by taurenmoo812

If anyones confused where the beginning of the chain is to get this quest, you first need to kill a crazed digger (gnome) near to the A.I.D.A terminal to get the quest item to begin the chain.

Comment by phillip6103

Most fun I have ever had on WoW.

Comment by Bluenose

Quest is really badly bugged for me at the moment, The fire core has disappeared 3 times in a row leaving me invisibly spinning but not able to damage the gnomes, Have to go back each time and get a new core.
